I love a good advent calendar. My kids, for the most part, love a chocolate advent calendar. Each year I fill little cardboard drawers with little bites of chocolatey goodness, coins, Santas, other assorted shapes. I have learned many lessons over the years. Not one of them wants nuts or crisped rice in their advent […]

Not long ago, I went to my local indie bookstore and said, “I’m looking for a science fiction novel that is fun, space opera-y, that focuses on relationships between people and possibly even kind of queer.” The bookseller’s face lit up, and she immediately pulled down a couple books from the shelf, one being Becky […]

When it comes to hair-related products, you should know what kind of head is giving you the scoop. As a small child, I had solid 3a/3b ringlets. For the first chunk of my adulthood, I didn’t understand anything about curl types and suffered from attempting to apply advice from styling magazines clearly targeted at naturally […]

‘The Last Girls Standing’ and ‘Stranger Things: Flight of Icarus’ managed to stay with me long after I closed their covers, and not just because they offered the requisite thrills and chills I look for in spooky seasonal reading.
